It’s here! It’s here! It’s release day for “Interrupt.”

It’s a good day to be Jeff Carlson.


Interrupt is a novel long in the making and long-anticipated in making its way to 7/23. Let me extend my thanks again to everyone involved — they’re listed on the acknowledgements page and in the dedication. Right out of the gate, Interrupt seems to be doing especially well on Amazon UK as evidenced here and here, which I find interesting, as well as chugging its way up the charts on Amazon US.


If you haven’t heard, physical copies of this book won’t be avail...

Last week before “Interrupt”!

To know me may not be to love me, ha ha, but it is to know I don’t blog a bunch. Next week sees the release of Interrupt, a big epic story of which I’m proud. Exciting stuff. There will be guest blogs and excerpts and promo action, and I’ll link ‘em all from here at jverse.com.


More soon!!

New “Author’s Cut” Audiobooks of WAR and ZONE

It’s true. You heard it here first.


Audiobooks of Plague War and Plague Zone are finally available from award-winning narrator Jeffrey Kafer… but these books aren’t just Plague War and Plague Zone… they’re Plague War: The Author’s Cut and Plague Zone: The Author’s Cut.


Both books are longer than the original versions with all-new material. In the case of War, the author’s cut is fifteen pages longer. Zone is ten. Due to contractual ins and out, I can’t yet sell the “author’s cut” editions in pr...

Go ahead. Guess. I double dog dare ya!

Yes, I am alive… Big News #2 !!!


I’m so behind right now I’m staggering like a wounded possum ricocheting helplessly across the middle of a ten-lane Interstate packed with hurtling commuter traffic. Yep. A lovely image, I know. ;)


Meanwhile, at least, here is my next fun hunk of news: Interrupt is already for sale, although you can’t actually get your hands on its electrons or pages or sound waves. Not until July. Nevertheless, it’s fun to see those ebook, print, and audio editions on The Amazon. More new soon (if I escape th...
